Psalm 43
New American Standard Bible 2020
Chapter overview
Psalm 43 seeks vindication from deceitful opposition and asks why rejection feels so real. Light and truth become guides back to the holy hill, where the downcast soul expects renewed worship and praise.

1Vindicate me, God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; Save me from the deceitful and unjust person!
2For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3¶Send out Your light and Your truth, they shall lead me; They shall bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places.
4Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.
5¶Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.
